Smiling Infectivity (English style), a photo from North Yorkshire, England

Photographer's Note

... while we're waiting for the lost photos of George's to be found...

Let's get back to the Wartime Weekend in Pickering where joy of seeing husbands coming home from war can't be compared to any other joy in the world...

Hi Robert,
A great expression of joy indeed! And marvellously captured! I hope we have reasons to put such a face in TE, as that means that all the noise and angers has helped making this a better place, although it is regrettable that the event that triggered it was so sad. Didn't you think about adding this post to this theme?
Happy New Year.
Regards, José.

You have indeed captured a very joyful expression on her face. Excellent tight framing and narrow DOF.

Very communicative smile, very infectious indeed and a great contribution, we certainly need this sort of mood now and you are giving me an idea for a next post...

Best regards and best wishes,
Cath.

Hi Robert,

I am impressed to be able to see the filling on her teeth, and the hair on her face. That reminds me I need to do something about my moustache.

A nice feeling and mood here.

:) indeed, such explosion of joy seen here is unbeatable, Robi. What a lovely wild laugh. Another great close approach, I mean, good use of zoom with impressive image quality once again. I would say that your best achivement here is the decisive moment...

I think this is my favourite of your three smiley photos Robi, or maybe it's just the forced sepia retro-ness (is that a word?) of the other two that didn't appeal so much (although obviously it was a 'retro' kind of event!
They're all good shots anyway - although I normally like a bit more space around a portrait, I think the tight framing worked really well. There's no escaping her good-natured expression here.

Cheers,
Ben
